Immigration and Ireland - MEGATHREAD *Mod Note Added 02/09/25*

A sample size of 385 is statistical relevant for an unlimited population size - so it clearly proves everything it needs to be proven.

More importantly...wasn't questioned on it. The Irish media are just appalling and that newstalk breakfast show is one of the worst. Their interviews of ministers etc are little more than a free PR piece. If they were in print, they would be at tabloid level

Absolutely of the most aggravating aspects of Martin

Emblematic of a generation that had easy access to large amounts of credit, relative ease in securing a property compared with today and little to no aspect of competition from the outside world.
He’s now the owner of numerous properties and a millionaire by virtue of that - similar to very many people across the country that bought their house for a song 30 years ago and it’s now worth several multiples of what they paid for it.

These are people that are totally and utterly insulated from any actual effects of our spiralling population. So not only do they get the benefit of having their now grossly appreciated assets, they also get the benefit of acting pious as can be - they get to lecture the misguided younger people who will never have the same opportunities to be a homeowner that their frustrations are not valid and are largely borne out of ignorance and racism, nothing more.

We’ve seen this total “I’m alright Jack” attitude evidenced in this very thread before.
Swap Micheál’s numerous properties with a 35 year old postgraduate forced to live in a mouldy house share at eye watering rents despite a good job or even better stuck in their childhood bedroom, and see does he still think everything is brilliant. It’s a scene that’s become sadly all too common in this country, not to mention the demographic effects which are already being seen - people unable to start families with their partners because suitable accommodation cannot be secured in the current market.

He’s a total finger wagging Muinteoir, fool of a man.

It was a fake interview. He would have got the questions in advance and she would have been given a list of what she was not allowed to ask about.

Brazilian woman moves to Ireland to learn English, has a kid here n now receives her forever home off the taxpayer.

How in the name of jaysus can English language students end up getting social housing? Why is she not back in Brazil. So on top of housing Ukrainians n asylum seekers we're now housing language students.

”Shur didn’t the Irish go to a continent sized country during the famine nearly 200 years ago? We’re obliged to take anyone from several continent sized countries forever now”

Why is she not back in Brazil.

Because her child is probably Irish.

Should he deported as well?

You are aware that at the time of the UK administrations attempted genocide through a manufactured famine the country was producing an excess of food aren't you?

No, what I think is that she and every other language school student shouldn't be here in the first place.

And the child, if they have Irish citizenship, IS an anchor baby for her. Maybe not the kind of anchor baby pregnant chancers made before the referendum (or maybe yes, we don't really know), but still an anchor baby for herself.

No, what I think is that she and every other language school student shouldn't be here in the first place.

So no language students full stop?

Presumably you would extend that to the Irish students going abroad to learn a language? Correct?

And the child, if they have Irish citizenship, IS an anchor baby for her. Maybe not the kind of anchor baby pregnant chancers made before the referendum (or maybe yes, we don't really know), but still an anchor baby for herself.

Again, it's not my opinion, you need to look up what an anchor baby is.

She was studying a masters, So no Irish students going abroad full stop unless to the EU.

Can't see that being a runner to be honest.

Again, you have just redefined what an actual anchor baby is. It's just getting weird at this stage.

She was studying for a masters 5 years ago and then had a child. She only recently got housed by a charity.

It's almost like someone's circumstances can change. Mind blown.

I thought the patriots wanted Ireland for the Irish?

Or is that only a certain type of Irish?

It may blow your mind this, but I'm an immigrant myself.

Can't pull the ladder up fast enough. It's actually more common than you think.

we can't afford to subsidy non EU foreigners here anymore.

But we can afford to subsidy EU foreigners?
